Under 21 Football

On Saturday afternoon last our Under 21 footballers claimed the club’s
11th County and our first since 2012 when they defeated a fine
Gaultier side in the 2017 County Final in what turned out to be an excellent
game of football. Played before a large attendance in the Gold Coast, the early
stages of the game were evenly contested before a well taken goal just before
half time gave us a half time lead of 5 points. The second half of the game was
even more fiercely contested and credit to Gaultier they fought right to the
full time whistle. There were great scenes of celebrations at the full time
whistle and it was most fitting to have John Elsted captain the side to victory
on a pitch in the heart of Ballinacourty. Indeed as many if our older members
will know the Gold Coast pitch is almost next to the site of the old Elsteds
pub which was the hub of the club for many years.

We would like to thank all the players and management team involved with
the lads for all the dedication and commitment they have shown over the last 12
months. They won’t have long to dwell on
the victory though as the first round of the 2018 County Championship against
Comeragh Gaels takes place in 4 weeks.

Our last man standing fundraiser continued last weekend and we say well
done to this week's spot prize winner Julie Mulcahy who won the prize
generously donated by Café Bliss. We would like to thank all those who entered
and a big thanks to Willow and Oak for their generous sponsorship.

Sympathy

On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our sympathies to the
Hurney family and especially Pakie Hurney, on the death of his mother Sheila
Hurney in Moycullen, Galway last weekend. Pakie has been our club treasurer for
nearly 20 years now and has managed numerous club teams to County Championship
honours, whilst Sheila’s grandsons have all given fantastic service to our club
on the playing field where they have won many County Titles in both codes and
Sheila always took great pride in their achievements.

We also wish to send our sympathies to the Gorman family and especially
Mary Gorman on the death of her father Paddy Coburn who passed away this week.
Whilst Mary's husband Bernard has of course been a great servant to the club
Mary has given a huge amount to our club for more than 20 years. Mary is always
willing to lend a hand with catering for club functions and the treasure trove
of photos she has amassed following our teams for two decades or more as one of
our most loyal supporters will no doubt prove to be a valuable resource in the
years ahead. Paddy’s grandsons have of course won many County Titles with the
club from Juvenile up to Senior Level and Paddy loved to watch the lads playing
on his visits to Abbeyside.

Once again we send our sympathies to Pakie Hurney and Mary Gorman on
their losses.

Under 21 Hurling

Our under 21 hurlers travelled to Dunhill on Sunday last to take on De La
Salle in the 2017 County Final. Conditions on the day were far from ideal for
hurling but credit to both teams they served up a very entertaining game. Our
opponents struck for an early goal and held the advantage at the break. As the
second half progressed De La Salle extended their lead but great credit to our
team they refused to give in and a goal from a penalty put the game right back
into the melting pot with time almost up. Unfortunately we couldn’t find the
scores to secure a draw and it was our opponents who hit the final score to run
out winners by 4 points.

We would like to thank the players and management team involved with the
lads for all their commitment during what was a very long playing season for
them.

On Friday night last the 2017 Waterford County Board Awards night took
place in Lawlors Hotel where Aaron Beresford was nominated for Underage
